Frequently Asked Questions

Will the repair match my current set?
We colour match and rebalance the apex for a seamless finish. Exact shade can vary slightly between brands, but we get it very close.
What if more than one nail is damaged?
This appointment covers one nail repair. Tell us at booking if more are damaged so we can allow extra time and ensure a consistent result.
Can you fix gel or acrylic instead?
This service is for BIAB repairs only. For gel polish or acrylic fixes, contact us and we will book the appropriate service.
How long will the repair last?
With proper care, it lasts until your next infill or rebalance. Avoid impact, picking and prolonged water exposure to maximise wear.
Do you remove product before repairing?
We remove only the lifted or broken area and keep healthy product intact. This protects the natural nail and speeds the repair.
